I'm taking vertical space seriously here.
We're hanging a lot of shelving. I don't know what took me so long.

Last year, I finally did this cubby and got rid of the junk! I also finally added handles.

This shelving costs approximately $25 or less to do in each space. It's not fancy, but I love how it looks with bins.
